I hope I do not jinx myself by gloating on this report.
I did my pre-winter oil change a couple of weeks ago and sent a sample in to Blackstone. I just hit 100,000 miles on this engine.
Everything came back below normal limits. The only thing present was a trace amount of antifreeze. I'll have to watch that but I think that got there from when we pulled the radiator and dunked in in the tank at the radiator shop. I saw some of the antifreeze get into the oil cooler at that time. We blew out the cooler but did not flush it prior to reinstalling it. So I'm hoping that is where the trace amount of antifreeze came from. This oil change had 6000 miles on it with one quart added during that time. It was suggested by Blackstone that I could go an additional 3000 miles on the next change. I won't because I change it every 6000 or every winter prior to parking it. I know I will not put on 6000 next year.
This engine has always used Rotella Dino 15w40 oil and Wix filters while I have owned it. The only PO also used Rotella Dino oil.
